This month July 2015, the

country observed the National Disas-

ter Consciousness Month. This cele-

bration highlighted the conduct of

Earthquake Drill which was simultane-

ously performed by different estab-

lishment/institutions of the country.

Last Thursday, July 23 at 8:30 am,

Mountain View College family ob-

served the national simultaneous

earthquake drill led by Mr. Rene Bi-

clar.

Due to time constraint, the

orientation for the said activity was

inadequate because of a very impor-

tant seminar that the safety coordina-

tor has to attend to, yet exhausted all

possibilities of providing information

to students and faculty on earthquake

disaster preparedness. Only building

A, B and C (library, computer rooms

and Oliverio Hall) classrooms and

offices in the said buildings have the

permanently installed evacuation

map.

The purpose of the earth-

quake drill is to have everybody ex-

perience what to do before, during

and after an earthquake. These en-

hance everyone’s capability for earth-

quake preparedness and evaluate the

teachers and students’ capability of

understanding and following direc-

tions in the evacuation map. This is at

the same time compliance to the re-

quirement of CHED to all educational

institutions.

EARTHQUAKE DRILL OBSERVATION The drill lasted about 11

minutes only. The instruction on the

audio was echoing and distracted the

clearness of instruction. The conduct

manifested inadequate orientation

because some students passing the

stairway of building A & B took the

pathway facing the Cafeteria and the

Onyx Hall passed in between interna-

tional flagpoles in front of the admin

when they are expected to take the

wide road in front of flagpole on their

way to the evacuation area. The poles

are a prospective danger from falling

and hitting passers-by during the

evacuation.

Students were just talking

and laughing while the evacuation

was going on. Some started to move

our while the siren was going on. The

sound system instruction was audible

but the words were not clearly heard.

There were no evacuation maps in-

stalled in the dormitories, nursing

building, cafeteria, auditorium, col-

lege store and fast foods and medi-

cal clinic.

There is a need to schedule

for thorough instructions on earth-

quake drill to all faculties especially

teaching faculty. Each faculty should

take it as a responsibility to evaluate

their preparedness for earthquake

calamity.

Positive observation A good number of students

and faculty participated which indi-

cated cooperation of the community

and the checking of persons in the

evacuation area was implemented.

God knows best. He knows what is best for me. He really knows best. We know that true but when we are in the middle of stress,

fear, anxiety and blatant unknowns, it is difficult fact to hold on. So, we pray and pray and pray for God to do something.

Usually we even tell Him what to do, which kind of negates the whole ―God knows best‖ idea. But, the point is that we do turn to

Him and of course, we tell Him what we want, because that is what we people do. Have you noticed, though, that as we are instruct-

ing Him, our prayers subtly begin to change? Prayer does not necessarily change God or His plans, but as we spend more time with Him, it does

change us and what we desire. It aligns us more with what God had in mind all along. So, yes, prayer changes things.

“ Prayer changeth not God, but changeth those who pray. ” —Pamela Deed

Editor’s Note I call on You, for You will answer me; turn Your ear to me and hear my prayer.”
